Just checked my Santa Lucia (shed name 'Santa Rosa'). Looks nice next to my bench. In my opinion a nice kit , if a painted hull and workman like finish
appeals. Good scale for 'rugged stitching' on the sails' , hull timbers were hard to work,but thick enough to sand and fill for a painted, not a clear, finish.
Deck camber makes it unusual but pleasing when finished.Well worth a go.

Anyone familiar with Mantua's "Santa Lucia" Sicilian Cargo Boat?

Rob, My kit came with timber for single planking which looks ok under a few thin layers of paint. For a clear finish better timber could be bought for a second layer. regards Digby
